Here at Geek, we often look at the wires snaking out of our gadgets and umbilically stretching between ports and sockets with sad incredulity. What the heck are we still doing bothering with wires? Sure, wireless electricity technology isn’t ready for, so we’ll grudgingly admit the requirement for cords. But why do we need to hook our monitor up to our computer, or sync our iPod through a USB cable? It’s absurd: the equivalent of using a two tin cans with a string in the middle to make phone calls when everyone else is on LTE.

We’re always happy, then, to see some new form of wireless come to the consumer market… and now the Warpia Easy Dock has popped up, offering anyone with $150 to spend the wireless docking station we all deserve.

The Warpia Easy Dock is built off of Wisair’s wireless technology, and allows both PC and Mac owners to wirelessly connect their notebook, netbook or MacBook to a larger display, keyboard or mouse by just plugging in a little dongle.

It’s a remarkably small and streamlined set-up… but it’s hard to say if it’s worth the money to you now. It’s more interesting as a proof of concept: give notebook manufacturers a couple of years and they’ll be building wireless docking technology into their machines, making this sort of peripheral moot.

Here’s another awesome way to stream those HD videos from your laptop on to your HDTV. If you’re looking for an alternative though, I suggest trying out the Netgear Push2TV product. This device makes use of the HDMI port on the HDTV and acts as a wireless adapter, displaying what you see on your laptop on to your HDTV. So instead of connecting the laptop via an HDMI cable, the Netgear Push2TV takes its place, and wirelessly streams the contents of your laptop even if they’re in separate rooms in the house. To know more about Netgear’s Push2TV product, just check it out here, http://bit.ly/bByST7. I’m sure you’ll love it too.
